Some random images from Paducah 2010

On your way into town, and out for that matter, you must stop at the Hancocks of Paducah store. It is a veritable treasure trove of fabrics. Hoffman, Kaufman, Bernatex, Kaffee Fassett - it's all there. They cut by the yard, and there are always bins of batiks and other specials cut from the bolt. It's deeeee-lish!!!


I saw Ricky Tims from down the aisle and asked his assistant to take our picture. The shot was fuzzy, so we did it again. The shot was still fuzzy - but by now, I was embarrassed to have another pose. So, I guess I'll just have to go see him next time. I met him in 2005, too!!!

Lunch is not glamorous. You grab something from a vendor and you might get a chair in the shade. Otherwise, it's take a seat on the curb, eat your whatever, and get back to business. No time to waste except to rest your back and feet.


I ran into Laura Wasilowski, introduced myself, and someone suggested we take a photo. Well, SURE!!! So, here we are, having a chat.


This is one of the several AQS booths scattered throughout the venue. They were selling T-shirts, bags to carry your loot, lots of books, and an assortment of memorabilia. I got myself a 2010 Show pin to go with my previous one from 2005.


The crowds were thick on the morning of the first day. You find yourself traveling at the pace others set. By later in the day, you could linger longer to examine the fine works. They say that by the weekend, the locals enjoy a much quieter time at the show.

There were plenty of quilts that caught my eye, but my photographs of them do not do them proper justice. The show prints a catalog of all the quilts shown. It's worth the price!
